Brand-Owner’s perspective<br />
on bioplastics and how to<br />
unleash its full potential<br />
„Hochland is making great efforts to reduce the ecological footprint of our<br />
packaging and to reduce waste by constantly optimizing our packaging. To this<br />
end we work closely with our suppliers and experts in the field of packaging<br />
development. Part of our packaging materials for your semihard cheese<br />
products, for example, already consists of 30% recycled plastic.<br />
In addition to the primary task of using as little plastic as possible for<br />
packaging, we see two major challenges: Firstly, the recyclability of the<br />
materials in order to enable material cycles in general. Our ambitious goal<br />
is to completely abandon the use of new plastic in the long term and to<br />
use defossilized plastics from recycling and renewable or bio-based raw<br />
materials in order to compensate for unavoidable losses of raw materials<br />
in the cycle.<br />

Secondly, the efforts of packaging manufacturers and food producers will only<br />
be successful if the consumer can classify the different materials. So we must find<br />
solutions together not only in development but also in education.<br />
Hochland goes even further in its Vision 2025: we are striving for a climate-neutral<br />
circular economy in our company. As the saying goes: even the longest journey begins<br />
with the first step.”<br />
